For today's news, we have 39 Things About Legion, a preview of the Storm Drake Mount model, Legion Engineering gadgets like Potenciador de entorno sónico, and some Blizzard alpha posts.\r\r39 Things About Legion\rTradeChat is back with a new video--39 Things About Legion. From Pepe's Rogue Order Hall appearance to the new Wardrobe collection for transmog, she's collected a variety of facts spanning popular Legion topics. If you're a newer player or don't follow the Legion news every day, this summary should be helpful!\r\r\r\rStorm Drake Mount\rToday's Legion model preview is the Storm Drake mount, a saddled version of the new Storm Drakes found in Stormheim. The sources and names of the mounts are unknown, but with the recent addition of world boss Nithogg, players are speculating that he'll drop a Storm Drake mount. Past world bosses have a history of dropping similar mounts such as Halcón saeta del sol from Rukhmar.\r\r\r \r \r\r \r\rLegion Engineering Gadgets\rYesterday, we highlighted new hunter tames including mechanical pets and a special engineering item, Matriz para marcar mecavínculo, to allow hunters to tame them.\rAtraquito is the latest addition to the family of Engineering butlers. Keeping with Legion's theme, he resembles a Fel Reaver. You can teach Reaves various utility modules: Módulo de Atraquito: modo de combate pilotado, Módulo de Atraquito: modo de alhajas, Módulo de Atraquito: modo de distribución de tentempiés, Módulo de Atraquito: modo de fuegos artificiales, , Módulo de Atraquito: modo de detección de fallos, Módulo de Atraquito: modo de reparación, Módulo de Atraquito: modo de generador de agujeros de gusano\rStart a mini-game with Tutorial de diseño de circuitos de Joyatrón and earn the achievement La distancia más corta.\rDalaran is a big place and you can port around it with Generador de agujeros de gusano en Dalaran\rActivador is a new Mechanical battle pet.\rWill the Garrison Jukebox make a return in Legion? Potenciador de entorno sónico allows you to play music. Even better, scribes will craft scrolls for different tracks you can play, such as Songs of Battle.\rSeveral relics can be crafted: Choquinator, "La Viliquia"\rThere is a new repair bot: Martillo automático\rMass-resurrect your party with Pilón detector de errores. In Legion, only healers can mass-resurrect.\rYou can attach guns to your bandages (Pistola de vendas de pistón), back (Pack de armas), and feet (Pistobotas).\rNew goggles like Cañón craneal semiautomágico will fire bullets at your current target.\rJoyatrón de imitación is a new pet from the Paquete de regalo de Joyatrón 6000.\rAs previously covered, many old gadgets are becoming toys in Legion\r\rThe reagents for these items are amusing--for example, creating the Snack Machine takes Festín suculento. There are also new reagents with some flavor: Lanzacohetes tierra-infernal, Rifle de repetición "Fondo Giratorio", Lanzador de explosivos de caos. These guns have distinctive models and can be equipped, but are also used to craft better gadgets. You can learn more about the recipes and reagents in the Legion database.\r\r\r\rBlue Posts\rOver the weekend, we shared Hati's model--a lightning wolf using a Northrend model that is related to the Beast Mastery artifact. As the model is several expansions old, some players are concerned it lacks details compared to newer pet models:\r\r\rOn Retribution Paladins:\r\r- I actually don't mind Ret's abysmal gap-closing relative to other classes so long as the devs realize just how big a tradeoff this is. For example, if demon hunter is a mobility specialist then by rights our utility should blow theirs out of the water.\r\r\rWe too believe this is key. Mobility will be a weakness for the paladin (and death knight), but it has to be offset adequately in other ways (utility, survivability, dps throughput while on target, etc).\rThe class should be designed in a way that regardless of what talent I take I should never be standing around auto attacking waiting for abilities to come off cooldown. The main different between live and legion alpha is that on live, even with the most simple talent options we basically never have to wait for things to come off cooldown 99% of the time and we can generate holy power pretty quickly thanks to the shorter cooldowns on judgement\/crusader strike and random procs with exorcism\/hammer of wrath.\rThe above is a philosophical statement we don't necessarily agree with. There are people that enjoy a slower pace of combat (one that isn't gcd locked), and the class design has to service their preferences too.\r\rThere's a fairly common tendency for some players to believe that all talents should be designed to service their play style (active versus passive, gcd locked versus not, solo questing versus raiding versus pvp, etc) such that they have three choices on all rows that they consider compelling alternatives, when in reality it's more about choosing a set of talents that fits your particular style and therefore defines your character (or at least the way you play it in any given situation).\r\r\r\rOn Subtlety Rogues:\r\rDiscussion Prompt:\r\rCurrently, Subtlety can AoE through multi-dotting Hoja de la noche. Obviously, this has some major downsides compared to traditional AoEs (namely, it requires more effort targeting enemies, has significant rampup when there are significant target counts, and takes a long time to play out all of its damage). It does have some upside (namely, in a situation suited for it, say 3-5 targets that last 20-30sec, its performance is relatively high, or at least will be with tuning).\r\rHowever, it also has another upside, in that when there are multiple targets around, but you mostly care about damage on a single target, you can funnel all of those tons of extra combo points into the primary target, skyrocketing *relevant* damage. With people organizing roles to maximize overall performance, you can do things like "You three fully-AoEing will be enough to kill the adds in time, so the Subtlety Rogue can maximize boss DPS." and end up ahead.\r\rOver the course of a raid tier, this will occasionally be above average, but not usually. We'd certainly argue that the current situation is more interesting than just having an "AoE Eviscerate" finisher, and there's always going to be some variance in AoE performance between specs on any given fight. The question is: Is it too much performance difference in the typical situation, to be acceptable? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Been away for a while. Great re-cap on what's coming in Legion. Can only equip one Legendary huh? I didn't know that.

I hope the storm drakes are like the new nether drakes (yeah, I know, more rep grind). Seeing the sort of colours they come is -kinda- looks right. One of my favorite things in BC was obtaining the nether drakes and was always disappointed by how ugly their heads were. These guys look pretty nice with an upright regal sort of stance vs. the usual squat, squished to the ground drakes we have now.

I think that those storm drake mounts are gonna be sold by one or more factions, thats because I dont believe that Nithogg alone could have a chance of dropping 3 drakes or more, he could be just a new Nok'Karosh who will drop one Storm Drake and the rest will only be mounts from Factions or Dungeons.

Wait, why can only priests mass-rez?\r\rEach healing spec has a mass-resurrection spell with a different name. For example, Mistweaver Monks have Reawaken.

"Mobility will be a weakness for the paladin"\r\rSigh I may be parking my paladin even though he my main. I love how fast I can get around & now they want to strip that away..\r\rAlienating players on how they played for several years is not a good way to bring back old members to the community & may end up losing out in the long run. Not just speaking for one class\/spec, but the overhaul. When cata came out I quit playing for awhile that expansion was terrible imo cause of the huge overhaul now they are doing it again..

Damn, it's looking fun to get back into Engineering again. WoD was a little lackluster, mostly because they moved most of the cool tech stuff to the garrison building and what we had left was some pets and a couple of toys. \r\rAlso Reaves is probably going to be the first butler to actually replace Jeeves for me, just because of how many additional features it has.

I played a Pally in Wrath and was weird out when they changed from Mana to Holy Power at first. I had to get used to it and now I do not mind the changes that happened. Also I am only using Mana and Holy Power as a example. I ment over all game play that happened with the change. It is all about getting used to a class and finding fun ways to incorporate the new features that come with change.

Some players like slow gameplay? Less hectic gameplay, sure, but situations where you just stand around and wait for the thing to die? Yeah, Blizz, we had that in Vanilla. Wasn't much fun then, won't be much fun now. Playing my pally in TBC with the old seal system was incredibly boring. And they wonder why people are bailing on WoW...

The rationale for accommodating players who prefer a slow pace of play in Legion implicitly says that they aren't accommodating those players now. Presumably those slower pace of play folks are playing something else to avoid Ret as it currently stands, or they just aren't playing at all. \r\rBut accepting their stated rationale, does that mean that some other class\/spec, that currently does accommodate the slower pace of play will similarly be changed in Legion to accommodate those players that want a faster pace of play? And if so, is there going to be a road map telling players that like Rets faster pace of play as it currently stands to switch to some other class\/spec come Legion and vice versa for the slower pace of play fans? \r\rWouldn't it be better to keep the faster pace of play class\/spec folks where there are now and the faster pace of play folks with their Rets?\r\rThese type of rationales are the type of thing that makes me think that they come up with changes first, for whatever reason that I'm assuming they had a logical basis for (absent evidence to the contrary), and then when they get questioned about it during alpha testing, they come up with some different rationale when responding to the player concerns. Because when you take their rationales at face value, you end up with the sort of stuff that I just came up with above, not to mention the inevitable list of inconsistencies in how other classes\/specs are being changed.
